Speeds for NAS are low on wireless compared to wired. That's just the nature of wireless today. It will still be faster than the wireless in the Superhub router.
If you're using a NAS, and copying large files to and from the NAS (rather than say, watching a video from the NAS) then connecting a cable will be faster for the foreseeable future.

You mean using the NAS wirelessly?
Speed will be lower than wired, will probably be OK if you're just planning to use it for a bit of listening/watching stuff. May get annoying if multiple people are trying to use it or you're transferring big files.
It won't be any slower than the Virgin superhub wi-fi and should hopefully be faster but the best option would obviously be to plug it in.

I am about to take the plunge and splurge the £200 odd quid on all things ubiquiti, and was going to come and get @Velocio to confirm that nothing has changed model wise since I copied and pasted his selction.
Current thinking is to get:
Edgerouter X, https://linitx.com/product/ubiquiti-edgemax-edgerouter-x-uk-psu/14588
plug
toughswitch https://linitx.com/product/ubiquiti-toughswitch-5-port-switch-with-24v-passive-poe-ts5/13648
into it, and then plug many ethernet things into the toughswitch so network streamer/nas/fire stick/ps4, so it's all on the same network,
and then use the AP Lite
https://linitx.com/product/ubiquiti-unifi-uap-ac-lite-aphotspot/14521
to send the wifi signal around the flat. though I might have to take another look at the toughswitch and get the 8 rather than 5 if the ac lite needs to be plugged into the toughswitch rather than the router.I need to ring BT and see if they can do a deal on my current broadband package otherwise it's off to Zen Internet...

Sorry to bug everyone on the same matter, I never got round to buying any Unifi gear but I'm finally getting round to it now, I've got a Virgin Superhub router and modem and I want better WiFi so it makes sense to get this AP Lite, but Boss man said the speeds could be low if intending to use a NAS drive which I am intending to do. I should probably just get the AP Lite and see how I get on before going too wild, right?
